Sometimes wider is better, but not all the time. In the park you want a light weight ski that is wide but not to wide. Depending on what your skiing i would get the invaders if your doing mostly park skiing, and if your jumping i wouldnt go above 40 footers with the invaders. The Chronics are your all terrain type ski that is more durable in the pipe and park where you could do those bigger jumps. The anthems are nice because they give you everything the invaders have but wider, which means you can hit those bigger jumps.
ok so according to this:
http://www.lineskis.com/compare/chronic
09 chronic 166 cm is 1589 grams, while the 09 invader 161 is 1546, and the 171 is 1723.
so either the dude that said his 08 chronics were heavyier than his 09 invaders is right and they lightened the 09, or his bindings were heavy. so does anyone know how heavy 08 chronics are?
well yeah they are lighter but not by much
alright so I used a bathroom scale to weigh my brand new chronics i got about 2495 grams per ski, but its not very accurate because when i put a 20 pound dumbell it showed as 23 lbs and a 25 pound dumbell as 28. i just subtracted 3 lbs when i weighed the skis.
so yeah i think they made the 09 chronic lighter, or my scale reading isnt accurate. can anyone confirm i want to get to the bottom of this
